The 7-inch SpringBoard, with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, is built by Huawei, T-Mobile said. It has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, which can record 720p video, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Its smaller size lets it fit into a jacket pocket.

Installed media applications include Blockbuster on Demand, Netflix, and T-Mobile TV. Also built in is the TeleNav GPS Navigator app for turn-by-turn navigation.

T-Mobile--the first carrier in the world to offer its own Android device--didn't announce prices.
